Dear All,
I'm still in the jobs search and I've decided to stop looking for jobs specific to my major or area of interest. Right now, I'm just trying to pay my bills and hopefully get to South America within the year, where more job prospects and a graduate degree await. I'm always taking advice, ideas for leads and other connections, so I'd love to hear yours if you've got them!
After many months of continuously struggling to make my living situation whole and tolerable, including changes in management and roommates, I've decided to move out. Luckily, I never signed a lease. I am looking for a new place but have got a very tight budget and am unwilling to sign much of a lease. Rooms for rent or sublet are perfect. I've been posting ads for myself as a Professional House-Sitter. If yourself or anyone you know of is leaving town for a while and needs a live-in house sitter (I can garden and take care of pets as well) please send them my way! Finally, I was thinking that I might try to get a job in an apartment complex- two birds with one stone. If you know of any hiring, let me know.
Current statistics bemoan my state. 55% of people my age are unemployed; it's the worst time to look for a job if you're 18-29 since World War II. And craigslist.com ads are full of older couples and individuals who can no longer afford to live alone and are looking for rooms to rent in other people's homes. It's a weird, weird time, and I've got to remind myself not to be so self-absorbed to think that I'm alone in this struggle.
